Green Bay Packers

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Hampton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Means. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In pick 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 88, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
The board had Michael Hall Jr. higher than the 91st overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
A premium they did not need to pay, Jarrian Jones a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
A reach for Khristian Boyd in slot 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
They went early on Dominique Hampton in the 219th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
Kimani Vidal at pick 245 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
A tidy bit of business in slot 255, where Bub Means graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
